A new iPhone is announced, but everyone seems to be focusing on Tim Cook because…

Yesterday, it was yet another ground-breaking day for all Apple fans: a new iPhone and a new iPad are announced. In case you’ve missed it, it’s a smaller version of an iPhone called iPhone SE, at 4 inches with a better battery life. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, many people have requested for this smaller version.

The new iPad is basically another smaller iPad Pro, at 9.7 inches.

So we take back our words: it’s not exactly ground-breaking, because it’s yet another announcement packed with full of adjectives to show how good their phones are, when it’s “meh”.

But here’s the interesting part: everyone should know that there’s a major disrupt between Apple and the FBI, and Tim Cook started the event not with a lot of details for the new phone or tablet, but a firm stand against what he’s fighting for. Instead of getting people excited about the new phone (which, well, now we know we aren’t), he talks about privacy instead.

He says, “”We built the iPhone for you, our customers…We need to decide, as a nation, how much power the government should have over our data and over our privacy…We did not expect to be in this position, at odds with our own government but we believe strongly that we have a responsibility to help you protect your data and protect your privacy. We owe it to our customers, and we owe it to our country.”

It was, indeed, a good speech, but doesn’t that sound like TimCook4President2016?

But nevertheless, here’s the full video.
